Abstract

In this paper, we consider the convergence of the generalized Kähler-Ricci flow with semi-positive twisted form \(\theta \) on Kähler manifold \(M\). We give detailed proofs of the uniform Sobolev inequality and some uniform estimates for the metric potential and the generalized Ricci potential along the flow. Then assuming that there exists a generalized Kähler-Einstein metric, if the twisting form \(\theta \) is strictly positive at a point or \(M\) admits no nontrivial Hamiltonian holomorphic vector field, we prove that the generalized Kähler-Ricci flow must converge in \(C^\infty \) topology to a generalized Kähler-Einstein metric exponentially fast, where we get the exponential decay without using the Futaki invariant.
